“calm palms” is a semi-abstract drawing that portrays a pair of hands gently resting together in the meditative dhyana mudra position. There is no remaining body – the palms appear severed, yet serene. Their whiteness suggests they may once have belonged to a stone sculpture, now lost or crumbled with time. Still, the hands remain intact – preserved as a symbol of timeless stillness and inner peace.
The composition is nearly monochrome, drawn in black and white, yet interrupted by a quiet presence of red – like warm blood flowing through the lines of the drawing. This crimson detail bridges the image with life, grounding the meditative stillness in human emotion and the silent longing for transcendence.
A poetic contrast emerges: the gesture of calm is born from absence; the stone-like presence of the hands becomes a living emblem of the human search for lasting serenity.
